Man I'd say this has been the most helpful information yet:) I'm gonna try this out when I get back from pickin up my friend. Okay but what is the "DSLpanel" Also when installing the driver's for example the madwifi driver do I use ndiswrapper to install it? I did try that before not sure if I installed the right file but it said >ndiswrapper -l (driver) invalid driver!
As for my Senao card to my understanding it uses the prism2.5 chip. I was thinkin maybe it could be a problem with my pc socket but at boot it does say it found it starting cardmgr then somewhere else in the boot it indicates "no sockets found"? I really appreciate the info and help, BIG Thanks:)The DSLpanel is right there on your desktop.

No no no. MADWiFi is a native Linux driver. Read the info file as I said before. ndiswrapper is for "wrapping" a Window$ driver. Use it only when there is no Linux driver available.
To check whether your system is recognising the Senao card, run these 2 commands in an xterminal - "cardctl status" and "cardctl ident"Man I'm gettin sooooo close. I downloaded the madwifi driver for my Atheros card and I forgot I've tried that before but when I goto open it, it asks to open it with what. This time I chose the wireless configuration and it said no wireless card found. Last time I didn't know what to open it with. I ran the cardctl status and cardctl ident commands on both cards and got the same result "No such device". No I just checked out like the main page and realized DSL is "Damn Small Linux". I have been using whoppix 2.7. Is that any different? Did I attmept to install the madwifi driver correctly?
Tempestuous man your good. You explain things in a more user friendly way for noobs with linux:) Just to verify if I could my actual pc socket is a Texas Instruments PCI-1620 Cardbus controller with UltraMedia. It does day at boot PCMCIA Found starting cardmgr. So my socket is fine right?Anybody... goin once, goin twice, sold to the next user who decides to help a fellow noob out:)
